McKinsey has a very, very strong appeal to these elite, Ivy League-educated either MBA students or even out of undergraduate schools. McKinsey consultants say over and over again ... that they're looking for insecure overachievers. There are students that go to Harvard, Yale, Stanford, places like that, who have been top achievers their whole lives, and they've been at the top of their class.
They developed sales programs to work with Purdue's sales force, to work with doctors and get information about doctors and which doctors were most likely to prescribe opioids that OxyContin in great quantities and to target those doctors. So McKinsey used its smarts, its ability to take large reams of data and distill that and to find a way to target people like doctors in order to boost sales of an addictive drug. That's one thing McKinsey did.
All I could think of while listening to this today is “Who GAF if they were representing opioid manufacturers” Stop w/ the anti opioid propaganda, I BEG YOU PLEASE. It’s an ILLICIT FENTANYL problem this country is dealing with & patients like ME are paying the price for…

Romney’s firm used to get companies to pull down their pants and then then once every crack and crevice was examined and the company was reorganized beyond recognition by “consultants” barely out of diapers, the other side of “the wall” would purchase the top competitor.
Can we please have more then two parties.
Where is the paperwork indicating conflicts of interest existed?
The article literally says they have internal firewalls like bruh. Every large consulting firm operates this way. This isn't just a McKinsey thing (no matter how much I love dunking on them)
What?
Is there such a thing as an ethical or a socially responsible corporation? Or for sale and to the highest bidder only?
Pete Booty Judge was their prized pupil.
